With this ring ...

"It wasn't a 'gift' so much," the star of "The Bachelor: London Calling" tells People magazine. "It's not a television or a handbag. It's a symbol of marriage that didn't happen."

Lamas, who split with Grant earlier this month, recently told the magazine she wanted to keep the 2.85-carat ring "safe and clean and in a glass box -- like a glass slipper," and she suggested her ex was fine with that.

"I never said it was cool to just keep it," Grant said. "If she said we spoke about it, she just made it up. Sometimes she thinks she can say anything and I'll go along with it."
